Glass is collected every four weeks on your scheduled collection day. Click here to find out which day glass will be collected in your area.
Guidelines
- Set out the cart by 6:00 a.m. and place the cart at least three feet away from other carts.
- All glass must be placed inside the glass cart AND the lid must close. Do not overfill the cart. (Overfilled carts will spill glass into the street when the cart is emptied into the truck.)
- Only empty glass bottles, jars, and Pyrex will be collected. Broken bottles and jars are okay. Discard lids, caps, and corks and lightly rinse the container. Mirrors, windows, dishes, fish tanks, light bulbs, or ceramics are not accepted.
- Do not place trash or non-glass recyclables in the "Glass Only" cart.
Drop Off Glass Collection
Drop off glass at any of the collection sites located throughout Boise for free. Sites are open 7 days a week.
Please note: Many sites are located in residential areas. We ask customers to use glass drop off sites no later than 10 p.m. to reduce late night noise disruption to surrounding neighborhoods.
Guidelines
- Accepted items include: All types of glass bottles, jars (clear and colored), and Pyrex.
- Remove lids, caps, plastic bags, and cardboard boxes before depositing glass.
- Do not leave plastic or paper bags, cardboard boxes, or garbage at the drop-off sites.
- Items NOT accepted include: Mirrors, windows, dishes, fish tanks, fluorescent light bulbs, or ceramics.
Reduce & Reuse: If the item is still in usable condition, consider donating to a local thrift store, selling on an online marketplace, or gifting the item through your local Buy Nothing group. https://buynothingproject.org/
